Aston Martin / Club Arnage T Shirt Design

[Chris24]

Hello,

Since many of us are going to either Sebring or Le Mans or both, and we are pretty much going to be supporting the Aston Martin team at these events, I decided to work on a T shirt design for these races.

I have now finalized the designs, and have posted a low res version of them below. I have e mailed the full size designs to Jpchenet, who is hopefully going to host them online somewhere so that all Club Arnage members have access to down load the full size images.

The designs have by made so that the proportions are to fit an A4 size sheet of iron on transfer film.  This film is available at PC World for about £10 for 5 sheets, or from Computer Fairs for about £4 for 5 sheets.
Asda sells packs of 2 good quality plain t shirts for £3.50p

I have done three seperate sheet designs, so there is a choice of two designs.

Design 1 uses a single sheet of transfer film for the front and a single sheet for the back print.

Design 2 again uses a single sheet for the back print, but uses the CA logo and Aston logo from the single front sheet, along with the larger car from the second front sheet at the bottom. There is then an extra CA logo and Aston logo left over from the second front sheet, which can then be ironed onto each shoulder of the t shirt.

These are the low res designs, along with a basic sketch of how to lay the designs out on the t shirt, depending on whether you choose the 2 or 3 sheet options.

You should be able to make 4 t shirts with the 3 sheet design, for approximately £19.00p and about an hour using the iron. Thats not bad at £4.75p a shirt now is it.

Go on show your support for Aston Martin at the races this year ?

This is the design using the larger car on the front and the CA and Aston logos on the sleeves

This is the design for the back print.

This is a sketch of  how to layout the transfer films on the t shirts for each design once printed out on iron on transfer film. Although the proportions are correct, you may still have to alter the overall size when printing to "Fit to paper" in your printer software.

Also don't forget to set your settings to "print mirror image" or "reverse image" otherwise your t shirt design will come out back to front !

Have fun .

Thanks Chris, all downloaded safely. Nice designs.

Bought some t shirts in CostCo at the w/e, just need to find the paper now.

Chris and Paddy (I like that one, spare me one each). Shame about Rob Barff not being one of the Aston drivers....  Nice to see Stephane at the wheel.

Edited: sh*t... big fingers... have the laptop tonight.

No probs my man. Been to the local shirtman today and worked out how/what/where/when. All should even be ready for the 1000km of Spa, the t shirts, the polo shirts and the baseball caps
We'll have an over-production on the shirts and caps, so there will be some spare for face value.

Hey Paddy - reserve me something...a cap or XL t shirt, I don't mind which...

Shame Club Arnage isn't featured in your design though...(did I already say that???)

HGB,
You're going to have to print your own I am afraid. Thats the general idea. I am not mass producing these, just providing the design for anyone to use.
I am already facing possible problems  just getting the transfers printed out for the 4 shirts that I have to get printed already. My printer ain't working and my dads PC has gone tits up since doing the design on it, so his printer may not be an option either !

I may end up buying a £20 printer, just to do the t shirts on in time.

Let me know if you're really stuck Chris, I can print the transfers and post them to you. I won't volunteer to get and iron shirts for you as I'm crap at it.

   I just think the whole idea of the shirts and the logos is great.
Here in the states the corporate lawyers would be on you in a flash.              Pidge

Lawyers are more carefull here. It's our European sport to shoot them in the park during lunch hours

Honestly; I made my own logo, I was sent the RfH-logo by themselves last year, and yes, I might just change the LM-logo a little. Into 24 Bieres du Mans or something. I really don't give a flying shag.
Drinking for Holland is a non-profit unorganised bunch of alcoholics, we go to Spa and LeMans to have a good time. Not to make profit out of something that is only used for recognition.
Oh, and I'm gonna tell Heineken to send us flags, otherwise I'm gonna promote Grolsch instead (even though Heineken will be on draught)

Yes, I understand I am not allowed to use somebody else's logo without permission. But there are rules by law for a reason, and there are rules which are just plain pathetic
